CARPINTERIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Procore Technologies, Inc., a leading cloud-based construction
management software company featured on the Inc. 500/5000 list of the
fastest growing companies in the nation, views new Google Glass
technology as the next frontier for construction management software.
Procore sees the up and coming technology as a perfect fit for the
challenging construction industry and is currently testing its
potential. Construction projects often operate with razor thin margins
and require the utmost efficiency to prevent delays that can cost
builders and firms time and money.

Although Google Glass is often touted as a cool, cutting edge wearable
technology for photo sharing, phone, and email correspondence, its
functionality beyond these basic uses remains uncharted territory. The
visionaries at Procore see Google Glass’ immense potential for
enterprise use as they actively plan for such possibilities in
construction project management. (Watch

Utilizing Google Glass, Procore imagines a world where a project manager
in Los Angeles could virtually walk onto a jobsite in San Francisco, New
York and Shanghai all on the same day. Procore envisions Glass enabling
project managers to communicate, share documents seamlessly, and monitor
progress by collaborating in real-time.

Procore’s Lead Android Engineer, Andrew Ballinger, explains, “Glass is
part of a larger push towards wearable computing that has been a very
long time coming. Smart phones demonstrate the usefulness of such a
device, but we are very much in the era of pocket watches, which makes
the act of checking the time or reading an email very noticeable and
very deliberate.”

Although Google Glass has yet to hit mainstream, Procore engineers
continue to develop the Procore app and test its potential as they
create new construction project management solutions. At the cutting
edge of technology, Procore is prepared for the future and will be ready
when the construction industry begins to invest in and adapt to wearable
technology. Updates from Procore about Google Glass and other projects
